08 PT Cruiser will not start/fob wont work/red dot error code

\015 Hi Cruisers :) Having problems with my 08 PT Cruiser. I actually drove it around earlier today - no problems! Parked the car. Went back to it in the afternoon, placed the key in the ignition, and the car started for about 3 seconds then turned off. Repeated this approximately 6 times over the hour until the car no longer turned over. All electronics are working. Also, after the initial testing, my cars FOB and spare FOB no longer worked; I had to manually enter the car. Red dot error code is displayed on dashboard - something to do with the security system? I've read that opening the hatch with the key manually will disable the factory security setting - however, my key does not work on my hatch! I'm not sure if this has always been the case, but I thought it was odd. Anyway, I know its a spring Friday, but any answers would be greatly appreciated! I'd love to be mobile by Sunday :)\015
